Slashdot peeps generally tend to be well educated and be very possessive of their rights. American/.ers tend to protect their freedoms, witness the reaction to the PATRIOT Act.
I'm not too sure about "well educated" part. Many Slashdotters are quick to blame the Republicans even though it may be no better with the Democrats. For example, the PATRIOT Act passed the Senate by 98 to 1 vote (1 did not vote). And while the right wingers may censor items that are against "family values", left wingers have no trouble censoring items that are not "politically correct".
Personally, I think the reason why Howard Stern is getting punished is because people who says "I never listened to Stern and think he's the scum of the earth" tend to write more to their Reps than people like you who value freedom of speech.
Since the republicans control congress, expect to see "child protection" legislation in the next year or so to give the FCC the power to regulate cable.
Do you have any proof of this or is this just a tinfoil hat talk? And if you think the Democrats can do any better, that a look at this article. While the policy hasn't been changed, I could put my tinfoil hat and say that if the Democrats control the Congress, expect to see "minority protection" legislation in the next year or so to give the FCC the power to regulate cable.
That's an excellent point. However, I doubt that most of the members of Congress knows what an ActiveX is. I guess this will create a loophole for the lawyers to argue about for years.
I know you are joking but I don't think that Gator will be affected by this since they usually state what it does in the license agreement. Which passes the test below.
It requires that consumers explicitly choose to install such software and agree to the information being collected.
Cheny is getting his ass kicked. Mr. non-bid contract Haliburton boy is going down in FLAMES!!!! Mr. let's go get'em because the Prez is from Texas. Mr. let's blow cash and run up the debt.
While I can't picture Bush doing anything about the patent problems if he gets elected, I don't think that Kerry will deal with it if he gets elected either since he'll have to take care of Iraq, universal health care, social security, etc... Not to mention that the lawyers are his biggest supporters are lawyers that benifit from the lawsuits.
Many slashdotters believe that they are the center of the universe and whatever they claim are true just because they said so, and everyone who does not believe them are either stupid or a liar.
I'm not a programmer but won't you need the source to recompile the module? I could be wrong so enlighten me if I'm. I did take a look that the contents in detail in order to install the older versions of the drivers when I was using Slackware 9. I did see precompiled modules for the more "main stream" distros, but had to compile the module from the sources for slackware.
People who aren't afraid of recompiling the nvidia kernel module or
even reinstalling the nvidia driver each time the kernel has been
updated and want or need to use the latest and greatest nvidia driver
can use the following steps 1-3.
Below is the account of what happend. I think that effects of a tungsten carbie brick hitting a plutonium core is quite different than a plutonium core hitting your toes. I still wouldn't want to mess with it tough.
On August 21, 1945, Daghlian was accidentally irradiated while performing a critical mass experiment at the remote Omega Site laboratory in Los Alamos, NM (Manhattan Project/Project Y), when a tungsten carbide brick fell from his hand onto a plutonium core.
I think that's quite wrong. The nvidia driver package comes with object modules and enough source to link it into your kernel IF you have the kernel source installed on your machine.
When I extracted the contents of the package using "-x" argument, it seemed to contain more than "engouh source to link". Besides, why would their display drive package come with modules for network and sound? I think that we may be talking about two different packages.
The Nvidia driver package also comes with the source so that it can compile a module for you if it doesn't already have a binary driver for your kernel.
He won't, he claims he signed a contract to make payments on it.
I think that your friend screwed himself when he bought a computer on credit in the first place, but it's not suprising considering your description of him.

Making wild accusations without backing it up with a solid proof because of remote possibilities... When did slashdotters start working for Gartner?
PS: you are now listed as a foe, because no person of sound mind can also be a republican, and I don't like people who are not of sound mind.
I guess you'd better list me as a foe since I'm a Republican as well. BTW, I registered as a Republican back in 2000 to support Sen. McCain. I also joined the College Republicans, where its members were planning on voting for Bush by default. I've talked them into giving Sen. McCain a chance and they agreed to join me to hear him speak when he has planning to come to town.
I also had many friends who were in the College Democrats that were Bradley supports. Bradley was my second choice so I organized a bipartisan effort between the College Republicans and Democrats (wasn't too hard since most of us were moderats) for on-campus voter registration drive. Sadly, both McCain and Bradley lost the primaries, and no, I did not vote for either Bush or Gore.
I'm not planning on voting for Bush this year, but I may end up voting for Kerrey as "lesser of two evils" depending on what he says on the debate.
Personally, I think that no person of sound mind can also sterotype so blantly, but just disagreeing with me doesn't necessarily make you wrong (although I reserve the right to disagree), and thus will not have you or anyone else on my foe list. Life's too short to be closed minded, IMHO.
I really haven't seen any major media installing fear of the flash mobs from the articles I've seen, and the article mentioned here even stated that flash mobbing is used for protests. Besides, as for the celebrities, te fan that do care for them are actually the ones who's likely to "mob" them.
As for the CBS issue, Killian's former secretary stated that she didn't type the memo, but the memo did reflect how Killian felt about the Bush, so I see that as the damaging to the Bush camp. Also, Bill Burkett, who gave the memo to CBS, is well known Bush hater.
The reason why I'm requesting proof is that if we start to make accusations without proof, we'll be no better than Bush with his hunt for the so-far-nonexistant WMD. By his logic, since Iraq had WMD program in the past, kicked UN inspectors out, and hates US, Iraq use have WMD that they'll unleash WMD on US. He jumped to conclusions without solid proof and look where we're at now.
Sure flash mobbers call themselves that - they're edgy. When the media spreads these scare stories about flash mobs, they'll be playing on the connotation of "mobs", which is bad.
From what I read on the web site, they don't make it out to be a bad term at all. IMHO, I think that you are just making a big deal of the name.
No, I'm not really calling you on the questionability of Bush's questionable guard service, but I am calling you on the comment that perhaps the bad info CBS gotten was from the Bush camp. Another proof that I'm requesting is about the FCC comment. Did you find any leaked documents or are you aware of any sites that are pressured by the FCC?

Who voted against it?
It was Rep. Ron Paul.
This bill excludes programs used by the FBI or spy agencies, though.
It looks like the both major parties still have ways to go in improving the citizens' privacy.

Thanks for the info, I stand corrected.

You can use the "-x" argument to extract the source code and also use "-n" to prevent the installer from using precompiled modules.
The Nvidia driver package also comes with the source so that it can compile a module for you if it doesn't already have a binary driver for your kernel.

The supporting data is an asset, they're not going to give it away.
Didn't Bush say the same thing with the WMD in Iraq?

I didn't discredit your comment. I merely pointed out that you should already know the answer by your own obsession of the elite.
I just have to know why humans spend so much time pondering the minutaie of those at the top of the hierarchy?
And this coming from a guy who always makes "But it sucks if you aint in the top 30 percent or so...." posts time after time?

So? I have an XP Pro desktop with a heck of a lot more then e-mail processing and it has an uptime of over two years. We have servers just as long.
How can you have Windows XP Pro desktop with an uptime of over two years? Do you ever patch your systems?
